What is it about?
Biofilm produced by bacteria causes unpleasant wetness around the water. This paper proposes a method to quantify biofilms easily. We hope that this method will lead to effective countermeasures.

Why is it important?
An international standard for biofilm quantification by the SIAA in Japan is expected to be established in 2023. Against this background, the quantification method proposed in this paper is important from a practical standpoint as an option.
Perspectives
The biofilm quantification method proposed in this paper is a method to evaluate the biofilm by the color of reflection from the material. It will be of mass importance as a storage method for the evaluation by staining and extraction using crystal violet.
